Description
The Trojan War by Barry S. Strauss Recent excavations and newly translated Hittite texts have shed new light on one of history's most famous battles. The city of Troy, strategically located at the entrance to the Dardanelles, was a wealthy and powerful ally of the Hittite Empire. Its rich trade connections with the Greeks may have made it an inevitable target for marauding Greek forces. In this book, master storyteller Barry Strauss puts the legend of the Trojan War into its historical context, revealing the true story behind Homer's epic account. By exploring the archaeological evidence and historical records, Strauss confirms many of the details of the war while also bringing out its poetry and grandeur. Struss's expert analysis makes The Trojan War a compelling read for anyone interested in ancient history and military conflict.
